Description
Dog Breed: Boxer (short coat). FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED – ATHENA (NY AREA) Athena has been in protective custody at the shelter for over a year… and she is finally free to go. Athena desperately needs a foster or adopter. She is losing hope and shutting down in the shelter environment. It’s loud. It’s stressful. It’s constant. The staff takes good care of her — but it’s not a home. It’s not a couch. It’s not a family. She has waited long enough. A year is an eternity for a dog to watch the world go by from a kennel. She previously lived with other dogs but due to her kennel stress we are recommending no other animals until she has a chance to decompress. 5 year old Boxer Loves playing fetch Equally happy curled up beside you Passed her behavioral assessment (no food or toy guarding) Best in a home with kids 12+ (no kid history) Spayed, fully vaccinated & microchipped If you are near NYC and can foster or adopt, please step forward. We can transport within a reasonable distance .chboxerrescue/adopt

Overview:
The Boxer is a medium-sized, short-haired dog breed of German origin, known for its distinctive appearance and vibrant personality. Physically, Boxers possess a strong, athletic build with a characteristic square head, an undershot jaw, and often a docked tail and cropped ears (though these practices are becoming less common). Their short, glossy coat typically comes in fawn or brindle, often with white markings. Temperamentally, Boxers are renowned for being incredibly loyal, intelligent, and energetic, making them fantastic companions for active families. They thrive on human interaction and can be playful and patient with children, making them excellent family pets. While their energy levels require regular exercise, their adaptability means they can adjust to apartment living if their activity needs are consistently met. However, potential owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including a predisposition to some cancers, heart conditions like cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups.
